Back to Church Sunday 2012
Back to Church Sunday in 2012 is on 30th September.
If you're wondering what it's all about and how to get involved there's an introductory meeting with Bishop Justin on Monday 28th May, 7pm at Auckland Castle.
For both new parishes and those who have participated before, there is a training day on Saturday 23rd June from 10am - 3.30pm at Durham High School for Girls. This will be led by Michael Harvey, one of the founders of BTCS, who comes to us highly recommended. He will be helping us to explore how to be an inviting and welcoming church particularly encouraging us to explore issues around "inviting".
Anyone wanting more information can cantact Judy Hirst by emailing judy.hirst@durham.anglican.org
